          Carex flexilis, Rudge ([blepharophorer?]), a specimen
 was just sent me from Jeffersion Co [County], New York, by Dr.
 Crane, I suppose. It came in a newspaper with no 
 name.


 The authors of Hypopitys & Monotropa are quite different.
 The structure of the former are only correctly given in Nees
 Gen. Germ. [Genera plantarum florae Germanicae], where Bartling is cited as the true explainer.
 Those of Monotropa are pefectly 2-celled from first to last.
 I must keep the 2 genera.


 Schweinitria is a most distinct and beautiful genus.
 I must figure it.


 Calypso borealis has just come again from N. [North?]
 New York, in a letter. In woods near Brownsville,
 Jefferson Co., Dr. Wm E. Wood!


 Please send me your Ilicineae, Styraceae,
 Ebenaceae, and more Sapotaceae (Chrysophyllum &c.),
 from Herbm. [Herbarium]


 You must look again at the Euphorbia (Arkansana)
 you collected, in the garden here. It is very different from
 E. Helioscopia!


 Thursday.


 Sorry not to hear from you. Did you get my parcel,
 with Presteles proofs?


 In haste, faithfully
 Yours
 A. Gray


 Tell Mrs T. [Torrey] I hope I hear from her. I trust that
 her silence is not owing to sickness.
